Cerith Gardiner on Walking and Prayer

"We tend to think of prayer as something that requires stillness, a chair, a chapel, a quiet corner, and a moment carved out of a day that already feels too full. And yet, for centuries, Christians have also prayed on the move, walking fields, cloisters, and city streets, discovering that movement itself can become a form of attention. It is only now, rather curiously, that science is beginning to confirm what was once simply lived."

In a recent commentary, writer Cerith Gardiner reflected on how Christians ave long understood that walking could steady both body and soul.
